A cleaner brush

by Poet on the Piano   Jan 22, 2011


She didn't know she could erase paint
with the will of her predilection,
and when asked what color expressed
her livid and dry voice, she replied,

Red for the future of a brighter prospect.

Black winter no longer attracted her,
as if her chemicals shuddered away
at the thought of stabbing hope again.

The unknown artist of day's brilliance
gave her another side and aspect to craft,
the revelation of a true woman,
one who washes with striking endearments.

    Red for the future of a brighter prospect
    ^I like how you use the color red, typically you'd think of a yellow to describe something bright and full of hope. I think here, you can just say 'Red for a brighter prospect' because essentially a prospect is an outlook for the future, you're just repeating yourself.

    I wish you would have added more colors, perhaps some unique colors like cerulean for blue, or apricot for orange, something original instead of the usual red, purple, blue, yellow, green, you get the idea. I wish you would have continue with the color thing, instead it just stopped and you went to another thought.

    Interesting poem here though.
